Coming to Gf many yeas ago as experienced 767 Capt, I left after two years as the "fast track" Command never materialised. Back in the UK, semi retired but helping out with the new starts, I can tell you that at least a further 6 from the 767 have been signed up. Resignations to come along very soon now.
Oh, I was also A340 rated but YA didn't want to know. I took a "Golden Bowler" from a UK company to come out to Gf & hope YA enjoys HIS BD135K. I agree with all correspondents, he was useless & leaves the seat vacant for, I hope, a better Manager.
Wake up GF. Do something for the pilots who WANT to stay. Good luck to all of you.

Conversley - let those go that want to leave, its not beneficial to have guys around that are only here because they're handcuffed.
Dont hinder the movement of the leavers, and encourage those that want to stay, and you'll be left with a solid core group that really want to contribute.
A win win for all concerned..no?

Comet,
Any idea how many?
I can just imagine the chatter now,
"Don't worry yanni we are going to train 200 Bahrainis to replace them".
"How long till they finish training then?"
"Well, they will finish training in Jordan after two years"
"So how long to be Captains?
'"Only about 10 years your grace"....
''silence.....

When BN and AD joined GF, I could read all kind of negative comments against'em and honestly, was hard for me to believe what i was reading but now, i can see clearly how blind, stupid and foolish these people are. "95% of the Omani leaving GF" wow, most definitely, GF is sinking like the Titanic vessel and the band keep playing nice music while we sink. Congratulations Mr. AD, this is gonna be like the third or fouth company that you screw and send to the trash bin: Mate, you´ll get in the guiness record book.

Bahraini pilots can' t resign!
I just heard this news tonight....Most of bahraini pilots would like to resign or retire and get their indemnities but guess what... the HOFO just told them there is a new rule which applies for the bahraini pilots of gulfair: You may resign or retire but you wont get your indemnities......except if you are part of management
How do you like it guys?
if it was not so pathetic we could laugh but i really think of my bahraini collegues and tell them how much i can understand their sadness in this story!!!
It s absurd and absolutely unfair....

chrispatrickGA,, what you heard is not true
our bahraini collegues will not do F**k all, just b***ing and nag about everything
. They want the best pay by staying at home. its not true they are banned from working from any other airline or from early retirement how come 6 bahraini pilot left to QR and Arabia this moth
What HOFO said, retirement Package will only be given to management pilot so AD/BN can fill the poositions with friends and family

hello che as far as what this particular omani capt was telling me so far 6 omani cpt to ey nearly all with the exception of 2 or 3 fos on 330/340 have been accepted,like i said earlier their leaving dates are mostly august/sept/oct..even if they train 200 bahraini pilots,thats if they find that amount willing to sign that horrendous bond! they will still be short..the amount of people leaving within a 4 month period is to great for the company to cope with,i am guessing their will be a lot of flight cancellations,thats other than the boys that r stayin here going sick all over the place..thats why we have airport standby,sectors per day have increased,lots of mini rest and airport rest..they r already preparing for the worst because i am sure bn know its inevitable

desert st. thats 95% omani leaving i didnt mention the other guys who are leaving at a minimum rate of 4 per week(thats handing in their resignations) this number is from the office...they will have a real problem...apparently the ban on bahrainis from what i heard applies only for one year..its comes from the goverment of course,bn in all honesty has nothing to do with it..but will be waved after one year..all the local boys are waiting for qr to open base in bahrain or have the option of living here and commutting to work(doha) they will arrange your roster for that especially if u join them on the long haul fleet..the are working on it according to some of the guys i talked to..
safe flyin

Seems Oman Air may have a shortfall of GF pilots interested in the oncoming 767 program there as well...beautiful place to live...raise the stakes maybe???

ib57,we checked that out already there will not be much of an improvement on the package,thats why none of the omani boys have gone down there,and apparently they have just hired around 20 east european pilots..beautiful relaxed place but pay still way below even gf..

airpilot 3xxx bahraini pilots can go to arabia or qr,no ban there but arabia u fly a320 the rest of your life and qr depends on your qualifications as a pilot..for captains on a320 with 2000+ pic they can go a330/340 qr and for a320 with less than 2000 will go to the a320 fleet...all fos applying there will go to a330/340/a300/320 it your choice from what i heard...they are also studying..giving the pilots a choice if they wanna live in bahrain and commute to work,which is very easy if u r on the long haul fleet,they will plan your roster for that..which is excellent me thinks..

Mr A.D. has sold a LHR slot to American Airlines for US$15 even though Etihad offered US$20!!! Supposedly he did it just to spite them, so we loose US$5 just cos of his attitude problem-maybe that's why he stopped flying(failed his Pyscometric tests???). This is yet another of his & his dog B.N. idiotic & childish moves. Gotta love out new management
